Infographic: The Art of Hand-Woven Carpet Dyeing - An Ancient Heritage of Anatolia

The Art of Dyeing Hand-Woven Carpets and Regional Color Culture

In Anatolia, carpet weaving is not just about connecting threads; it means weaving the spirit, climate, and millennia-old heritage of a region, stitch by stitch. The art of dyeing, the most vibrant part of this ancient legacy, comes to life with a different color palette in each region. At PeraHali.com, our "Carpet Color Map," prepared with data from 2025, reveals how this traditional art finds its place in today's modern world.

Ancient carpet dyeing colors and preferences vary by region in Anatolia.

Every corner of Anatolia has created its own carpet identity with colors drawn from its nature. Ancient dyeing techniques and regional preferences continue to define the character of our living spaces.

  • Modern Tones of Marmara: In Marmara, shaped by the fast pace of metropolitan life, modern painting techniques such as anthracite and dark gray are prominent.

  • The Light of the Aegean and Mediterranean: Stone, beige, and light gray tones are used to create a refreshing atmosphere that harmonizes with the region's sunny climate.

  • The Classical Heritage of Central Anatolia: Traditional brown and dark beige textiles, reflecting a spacious living room culture, are symbols of timeless decoration.

  • The Warmth of the Black Sea and Eastern Anatolia: To combat overcast weather and harsh climates, saturated colors that add warmth to interior spaces, such as mink, burgundy, and dark brown, are preferred.

  • Powerful Motifs of Southeastern Anatolia: Tile and earth reds, representing cultural richness, are the boldest reflections of Anatolia's deeply rooted dyeing art.

The art of carpet dyeing is a bridge that connects the heritage of the past with the technology of the future. While preserving this heritage, we continue to repay our debt to the Anatolian lands with our " Every Order a Sapling " project. Would you like to bring the ancient colors of Anatolia to your home?
